    Tap your collective knowledge about replacing a battery - 2017 Carrera Vengeance

    Now you can fit any battery. Some line up with the fixings better than the other. There are two Hailong cases. One has the fixings very high up, which nearly always means that you have to install a new rivnut, which isn't too difficult. You drill a hole the size of the rivnut body in the frame...

    How to tell if it is the controller, battery or motor that gave up?

    200 shows that you've got a high intellect, you're relatively fit and healthy, you like animals and your meter is working, but it doesn't tell us why there's an open circuit between those wires. There is one explanation that I can think of, and that's that you're using the wrong wires. Are the...

    Battery packs

    I wouldn't use one to power a bike, but should be fine for running lights at 1.25 amps.

    Help! 500w/750w Ebikes in the UK

    It's not worth it. The system to get your bike registered is complicated, the insurance is expensive- much more than a normal motorbike. Then, when you get all that sorted, you can only ride it on the road with a motorbike helmet. It would be absolutely pointless now that you can get knocking on...

    E-Bike Battery Destroys Apartment in Germany.

    Well done for bringing multiculturalism to the forum and diversity of language. if only more people would follow your lead to speak Double-Dutch, admin could probably get one of the many diversity grants available at the moment. I have another good idea. Rather than sitting back and complaining...

    Fitting Internal Dropperpost

    It depends on where the cable exits. Some come out at the top and some at the bottom. Also, even if it comes out the bottom, on some frames there's enough gap to wiggle the cable through. Best to get one with the cable coming out the top, then you don't have to worry. One thing to look out for...

    Pedelec Law - The Details

    Sure as eggs are eggs, they'll hold it against you if you don't have a bell and you run into a pedestrian.

    Bosch Active line ECU? Where is is?

    The question is whether you are an average ebike user though. Let's say that you were an average person all round. That would mean that you have an IQ of only 100.5 if you live in England or Wales, or, even worse, 97 if you live in Scotland, and if you're over 81.16 years old, you're already dead.

    How to tell if it is the controller, battery or motor that gave up?

    The 1 then shows no connection between the battery wires and the mosfets. That would be could happen on either battery wire if the was shunt blown, like what happens when you connect the battery the wrong way round, or one of the power tracks blown off the PCB. I wouldn't expect to see 1 on both...

    Battery packs

    I've got one open here. It's an ordinary lipo with no markings. Comparing it's size with my others, I'd say its capacity is about 2.8Ah. I'm pretty sure that it's 4S, though it has a 5S balance connector with two reds, which would be about 40WH, which would drive the lights for about an hour at...

    How to tell if it is the controller, battery or motor that gave up?

    You should be using the 200k scale, which is one click anti-clockwise. To check the valididy of your meter readings, tell us what the reading is with the probes in the air, then with them touching.

    E-Bike Battery Destroys Apartment in Germany.

    The reason people don't talk about which languages they speak is because this is a British forum, where we speak English. Most people would be able to figure that out. As well as modern languages, I can still remember a fair amount of Latin, for which I got grade A at O-level.

    Rear rack battery holder

    I installed a 250w TSDZ a few years ago for a friend. It felt very weak. It reminded me of the old 24v Panasonic crank drives. as it happened, I had one on order at the time for myself. I still have it, and after my experience, I've never felt motivated to fit it to anything. I don't prefer...

    E-Bike Battery Destroys Apartment in Germany.

    That's a bit presumptuous isn't it? Did it not occur to you that some of us might have been born in Germany and lived there both at the start of their lives and for a period of their adult life, and that these same forum members might have a German name and German forefathers? And did it not...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Hmmmm! Quoting from the Daily Beast. I thought you'd know better than that! Where do you think Wikileaks got their info from then? No hit-piece article in the daily Beast can make that go away.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This is shocking: The gist of it is that these very highly reputed and qualified guys have analysed voting data in Michigan. The data pattern shows conclusively that an algorithm was applied to the computerised vote counting. As you can see from the patterns in the two counties at the top of...
